In recent two years, the state has advocated "mass innovation and mass entrepreneurship", so various incubators have mushroomed in various cities, including Harbin, where I was then. I have been to many incubators, either empty or rented out by incubators as offices to collect rent. As for roadshows, contacting investors is almost all talk.
From 15 to 16, I spent every Monday and Friday in an entrepreneurial cafe in the convention and exhibition center. The so-called entrepreneurial cafe is opened in an incubator, which provides drinks, snacks and rest services for entrepreneurs. I watched people coming and going while doing new media in this cafe, that is, I met some interesting guys and some nonsense people.
There is often a man named "Mr. Pan" in the coffee shop. Mr. Pan, surnamed Pan, is engaged in smart equipment entrepreneurship projects. He works in the open office area east of the coffee shop, but I have hardly met his team members. Sometimes people come to talk to him. It seems that he is only his friend, not his partner. At first, I didn't know what he did. Later, I saw more and more, and I became familiar with him. Gradually, I began to speak, and I gradually learned something about him.
He was forty-five years old that year. I have been in business for many years, and my projects have been folded one after another. In popular terms, it is a serial entrepreneur. His entrepreneurial project this time is a large-scale smart device with a TV-sized screen and built-in apps such as WeChat and Alipay, which can be spread in supermarkets, convenience stores and restaurants. Users can place orders directly on this smart device after entering the store. The device can also be networked and put unified advertisements. This sounds like the business of Focus Media.
Then one day, he showed me his smart device with great interest. He gave me a demonstration. When I saw it, my god, it looked like a ticket vending machine with a cat's eye! After he turned on the phone, I found out that this is not a plus version of Android phone. During his demonstration, I found that the hardware of this device was so poor that I didn't want to get stuck. This kind of equipment, let alone let the merchants buy it, is to shop it for the merchants for free, and the merchants may not do anything.
Later, I learned from the side that Mr. Pan always dreamed of getting rich overnight. This dream supports his daily struggle in the front line of entrepreneurship. He heard that it is easy for smart devices to find angel investment and financing, so he went to Huaqiang North to find someone to assemble so many machines. In fact, the machine has been assembled for several years, and the hardware used in those years is ok, with a medium level. ...
After all, this big brother just started his business for the sake of starting a business, he just followed the trend. He doesn't know how to start a business at all, and he doesn't know what kind of entrepreneurial project he should choose.
You said you wanted to start a business, but you didn't know what to do. I feel that if you really start a business in this state, you are another "manager Pan", so I think it is more reliable for you to stick to moving bricks.
